Thanks for reporting the bug. I hope our frontdesk folks extract relevant information from it, so we can do something about this problem on the dev or documentation side of things (at least documenting the hardware support problem, and then looking at how we could fix it). > With the second Grub entry (Live "fallback" (?)), the display works, but > Tails isn't exactly usable on 640x480 : many Gnome dialogs need to be > moved around to display buttons, etc. > I've seen that the working options correspond do nomodeset + vga=normal. > I guess the problem lies in the KMS on a specific combination of > graphics card, but I'm not so sure. Sounds plausible. I'll let frontdesk handle it since they have the details of the hardware involved. > Would there be likely options I can try to get a higher resolution while > still on framebuffer (AFAIU) ?

The xorg-resolution option documented in there might be what you want (untested). > I'm afraid this could be a show stopper for many end users [...] I concur. Let's take this seriously.
